Inferred rotation rate as a function of depth and latitude. Evidently the convection zone rotates uniformly along a radius with all depths showing the differential rotation seen at the surface. Below the convection zone is a layer of shear below which the radiative interior seems to rotate rigidly. This shear zone which coincides with the sound speed excess could be the region where the solar cycle dynamo operates.
